Since we seem to be having a penchant for the crazy and the bizarre, I hereby give my contribution to everyone's daily dose of shock.

A US woman accused of having sex with a son she gave up for adoption 10 years ago has compared herself to jailed rapper Li'l Kim as psychiatric experts describe the alleged offence as "an abomination".

It is alleged Aimee Louise Sword, from the central west state of Michigan, seduced the teenager after tracking him down on the internet, television station WXYZ.com reports.

The 35-year-old was charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct and released on bail.

Police arrested Ms Sword after they were informed of the sex accusations by child protective services.

She has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Ms Sword's lawyer told local media she is maintaining her "presumption of innocence" and that the accusations have been very difficult for her.

Prosecutors say the boy is still a minor, but won't disclose whether he knew the woman was his mother — a situation that has horrified mental health experts.

"I don't think I've heard of another case like this in my career," Dr. Gerald Shiener was quoted by Fox News as saying.

"Our first reaction to hearing about something like this is that this is every man's nightmare ... it's an abomination."

Sword has written on her MySpace page that she was inspired by rapper and former jailbird Lil' Kim because "she rises during the worst of obstacles."

"Reminded me of myself," Sword wrote on the web page, where she uses the name Aimee Pope.
